Foo Fighters Confirmed As Glastonbury Headliners

The Foo Fighters will headline Saturday night at Glastonbury Festival this summer, the event's organisers have announced.

The announcement has been trailed for several days and arrived accompanied by a secret show at the Cheese and Grain in Frome, Somerset, which was streamed on Periscope.

Foo Fighters were forced to cancel their Glastonbury 2015 appearance after the band's front man Dave Grohl fell and injured himself during a gig in Sweden earlier in June of that year. And how did they announce you ask?

Rumors ran rampant that the Foo Fighters would make up for their no show with a rescheduled date a year ago, but the 2016 bill instead featured Muse, Adele and Coldplay.
